That is what I meant > by stealing an OID. I do not understand the difference in semantics that you are referring to. Let's take pcimRuleEnables one more time as example. PCLS defines it as: "An integer indicating whether a policy rule is administratively enabled (value=1), disabled (value=2), or enabled for debug (value=3)". In PCLS this attribute indicates the state of pcimRule, class mapped from PCIM's PolicyRule. In PCELS we use (but not redefine) this attribute preserving its its syntax and semantics to indicate the state of a pcimPolicyRule, class mapped from PCIMe's PolicyRule. Doesn't the attribute (I stress: the attribute not the class that uses it) have the same semantics in these two cases?
